There was a movie about that - was it the Windtalkers?

I dunno, but it was a question on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" -
something like, "What language was used in WWII...". The guy used
his "phone-a-friend", and almost before he was done asking the
question, the friend blurted out the answer.

I thought that was kinda cool. :-)

When we had fixed game shows in the 50s where people could answer extremely
difficult questions (because they were fed the answers) the BBC tried to
create similar shows but couldn't find people who could answer such
questions. A BBC producer asked an NBC producer how they found such smart
people. Now I'd like to know how they find such stupid people.

They've given up on finding smart people, because they're so rare, but
the supply of stupid people seems to be infinite. )-;

Thanks,
